Remi Rough x Soi Books: A Limited Edition That Goes Beyond the Book
There’s limited, and then there’s this.
We’re close to releasing a new collector’s edition with Remi Rough — and it might be the most hands-on project we’ve ever done.
It’s an artist-made book in the most literal sense:
50 copies only
Each one hand-painted by Remi himself
Each cover is a different canvas
No reprints. No reruns. Ever.
This isn’t just a book drop. It’s a moment. And once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Not Just a Book — 50 Artworks Disguised as Books
The covers weren’t printed. They were created. One by one. In Remi’s studio. By hand.
It’s rare to see an artist treat publishing this personally but that’s exactly what happened. These covers sit somewhere between abstract painting and collectible object. Inside, the book goes deep into Remi’s world, his past, his evolution drawing from over 30 years of work, process, and visual evolution.
It’s colourful, minimal, bold — everything you’d expect from Remi, just printed and bound.
(If you missed our recent studio visit with Remi Rough, it’s a great place to get a feel for the energy behind this release.)
Why Only 50?
We’ve been thinking a lot about the value of limited editions in art publishing.
How books can be more than books. How scarcity, when done right, can elevate both the object and the experience.
This edition couldn’t — and shouldn’t — exist at scale. In fact this is something we will be doing more of - creating collectibles for those that want it Every book takes time. It takes touch, care and consideration. That’s why we kept it tight. You can read more of our thoughts on that here.
Each copy is signed, numbered, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Who It’s For
This is for people who collect carefully. For those who don’t just want to own something — but want to be part of it.
It’s for Remi’s long-time fans. And for those who understand the power of a well-made, well-timed, artist-led edition.
How to Get It
We're selling this outside our standard shop. Instead, it’s available exclusively through a private release page. Place your details down and we’ll send you an ‘early-access’ email on how and when to purchase.

About Remi Rough
Remi Rough (b. 1971, London) is one of the UK’s leading abstract artists, known for blending the energy of graffiti with the precision of geometric abstraction. Starting out painting South London trains in the early ’80s, his work has evolved into bold, architectural compositions that draw on rhythm, colour, and structure. He’s exhibited worldwide — from Tokyo and Berlin to Dallas and Hong Kong — and created large-scale murals and installations including Morning Dynamics at Art Basel HK and the Ghost Village in Scotland. This project with Soi Books is his first artist book with fully handmade covers — turning each copy into a rare, one-off piece.
